The Witch's Curse
Rumours

"Hot news! Hot news! Tonight's blood moon night! The king has not yet brought the queen home. Will the witch's curse repeat itself?"

A boy who worked as a newspaper suitcase seemed to jump up and down from across the horse carriage. He was trying to reach the windshield of the train to attract the attention of the lady inside. A gossip-rubbed increasingly sip, will certainly satisfy the desire of the young nobles.

Too bad his efforts were in vain. His target horse carriage was apparently boarded by a half-old master. Never gossip, just hear someone talk he has trouble. The bright face of the boy turned grim. However, just for a second. He encouraged himself and tried his luck again.

"Hot news! Hot news! Tonight's blood moon night! The king has not yet brought the queen home. Will the witch's curse repeat itself?"

This time, he walked into small alleys. I hope someone buys a newspaper because they are hungry. His stomach was already protesting for stuffing.

"The... Dic... "

Someone called the child's paper suitcase, but, because it was too slow, his voice became inaudible.

"Diiiickkk!!"

This time his voice was raised, however, it was still less loud.

The boy had already turned to another alley at the end of the road. Connelly, who was undercover, was forced to follow her footsteps in order to buy a newspaper.

"Hoshis... Hoshs... "

Connelly's breath was stingy, not usually he ran like that. As a lady, walking gracefully without being shaken is a basic etiquette that should be mastered. Let alone being shaken, this time, his steps were galloping like war horses! Madam Finn would have had a heart attack if she saw this strange situation.

"Diii.... Hoshs... Hossh.... " Connelly called out to the boy after catching up with his light but very fast pace like a squirrel. The boy finally turned his head, a second later, two large black-robed men blocked the view of the boy, and invited him to go elsewhere.

"How much is your newspaper?" ask someone between them.

"2 copper coins, sir. Buy 2 can be nego thin no sadistic," slurped the boy while grinning. They bought 1 newspaper and started reading the news. Connelly, who had caught up with the boy, accidentally pulled the black robe of a man twice as big as him.

"What the fuck?" the man seemed unhappy with Connelly's treatment, which now looked like a teenage boy.

"Ma. sorry." he said, then inching back. "The.. Dic... I want to buy your newspaper," he said later, glancing at the boy he had been following.

The man who was pulled by Connelly's robe hastily gave 1 piece of gold, then bought all the newspapers belonging to the child's loper.

"Woww! Gold coins! Thank you sir! I resigned. "the boy disappeared in a matter of seconds. After getting the remaining papers, the man threw the newspaper into a laundry tub filled with water near the alley. Connelly was in disbelief. How could the man be so nosy and self-mocking?

"That's it.. Let's go, "The other guy with the smaller body patted the guy on the shoulder. He also stepped in to let Connelly grieve over his treatment.

"God! Whatchu mean?" connelly shouted starting a fight. The man didn't budge and kept walking. Connelly immediately ran towards him and pulled the man's robe again, this time, his robe was torn off. Connelly doesn't care. He asked for an explanation.

"Do you know she's a girl?" ask the man. The big man was then stunned. The girl in front of him was like a different person. Just this time he saw a very beautiful woman with blond hair.

"Give me!" the girl then closed her hair back.

"Sorry lady, please don't judge her, she's grumpy" said the small-bodied man, who introduced himself as Azzam. The big man is named Razan. Connelly eventually apologized for being rude. He just wants to read the news in the newspaper, why is it so difficult?

Razan then lent him the newspaper she had bought. Connelly read line by line the words printed in it. He thought for a moment, and really did not think that his brother would do something like this.

"Aren't you afraid of being beheaded, is that kid?" azzam asked Connelly who was seriously reading.

"Yes?" Connelly asked back.

"Kok can-can ghibahin their King,"

"Oh, that.. Ja. I concur. Our king was a notorious tyrant on the battlefield, but very soft on his own people," Connelly nodded and inexhaustibly. Perhaps, because of the King's guilt on his subjects who had to experience one season for a year. The king never took issue with the rumor of the witch's curse that was always discussed when the red moon phase arrived.

"What kingdom are you from? I don't think it's Brits, do you?" connelly asked for a glimpse of the appearance of big, jet-skinned men he had never met.

"Yes right, we are travelers from the neighboring continent, Kingdom X," Razan replied without mentioning their true identities. He is on a mission to meet Princess Isyana in secret.

"alright... Let me buy you a drink!" take Connelly happy. The men did not refuse either. They moved to the nearest bar.

*

"SEEEHGEELLAAASHH LAAAHGIII...... "

Connelly was drunk with just a glass of beer. Razan and Azzam were confused at the girl's request. As their journey continues, Razan and Azzam take Connelly to the nearest guard station.

"Lady Connelly??"

The city guards recognized their ruler's sister, Lady Connelly von Gonovan. They also asked Razan and Azzam for an explanation of how they could meet the lady. Razan explains that they accidentally met at the bar. Connelly was escorted home by officers to the duke's residence.

*

"Lady that might be useful, what if we stayed here last night?" azzam said after dropping Connelly off at the guard post. Razan nodded in agreement, they stayed at a nearby motel and tried to approach Conelly again the next day.
